About the Item

The Petroglyph Collection is a captivating and ever-evolving assemblage crafted from discarded materials meticulously sourced by the Nucleo Laboratory. This collection breathes new life into scrap materials, transforming them into a dynamic and ever-changing form of art. Drawing inspiration from the preliminary phase of cave painting, the layers of these materials resonate with the essence of wooden tablets, once used for ancient scribbles. At the heart of this collection lies a unique process: timber boards serve as a screen-printed matrix. Through a singular and unreproducible painting gesture, a message is transferred onto the wooden surface. Each assembled piece becomes a vessel for an invisible message, a clandestine narrative encoded within the canvas. These messages draw inspiration from the profound aphorisms of Fedor Dostoevskij, celebrating beauty as the ultimate form of salvation. The wooden canvas, now imprinted with a soul-stirring message, stands as a testament to the lost tradition of reusing materials—an art form rediscovered and reintroduced by this collection. In the visible body of the piece, viewers witness a revival of a practice abandoned in the last quarter century. The collection embodies the philosophy that beauty has the power to save the world, emphasizing the dual nature of salvation: the concealed message within the soul of the piece and the visible rejuvenation of the discarded material—a symbolic resurrection of the tangible body. In a world that sometimes neglects the importance of preserving beauty, The Petroglyph Collection is a beacon of creativity, a unique piece resonating with the belief that as we cherish and save beauty, we, in turn, contribute to the salvation of a world in constant transformation.
